does anyone know if holly 94's will work/fit on a 49-53 offy triple intake (3x2) I heard a rumor to the effect of they wont work/ wont fit/ need modification im about to make a trade for said intake and carbs and don't want to end up with carbs and an intake that I cannot use together if someone could clear this up for me it would be greatly appreciated thanks fellas
Yes, Holley 94's will fit the '49-'53 Offy tripple intake, although they will sit very close. I mocked up this same setup on an 8BA several years ago.
It's been a few years since I did that setup, and know the carbs fit, but remember there could have been some slight grinding required to match the throttle plates to the intake pads, but I was using later Y-block 94s. I found the Edelbrock 349 tripple positioned the carbs better, IMO.
